“There was a visible layer of green smog surrounding the smoldering Earth. It danced around its surface, slowly, the only movement that either man could perceive. And there was a silence, not a serene silence like that of the hill with the quiet man nor a sacred silence like that

I fear I am afraid, I say.

Aye, aye, AI!—
A terrible thing!

Are we to die, we who write?

Are we to die. . .?

No! I say, we will rise!

We will bear our pens as John Henry the hammer,

And we will fight.

At times, we can all struggle to get words on paper. Louis L’amour reminds us, “Start writing, no matter about what. The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on. You can sit and look at a page for a long time and nothing will happen. Start writing and it will.”

Let Shakespeare remind us of an important axiom: “A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.”

“They wrong, for gold’s presence always persists,
So far they travel, searching for its tune
But questions rise; can gold’s flame extinguish?” https://t.co/pmOcRwetNm

of the scene in Bethlehem. No, this was a silence that pervades only in the most low and dark places. It was a silence that could pierce the intellect and infect the soul. Its cool hue entrenched itself within the ears of the men, leaving their hearts empty and minds dull.”
